More About Phoebe

Phoebe is such a doll of a girl. Shy and submissive, this retired breeder is just over 5 years old and weighs @ 14 lbs. She is a short little thing and wants so badly to be a part of the household! Just as sweet as they come, Phoebe is crate trained, housebroken and all in all a wonderful little dog, who just needs time to get past her shyness! Phoebe would need a fenced yard and would do best with another dog in a home. A must meet...Dog's Best Friend Adoption Center utilizes an adoption application and screening process. We require personal and vet references and a home check made prior to adopting one of our dogs. All of our dogs are companion animals that must be kept inside the house with the rest of the family members. All of our dogs are temperament tested, well mannered, and know some basic commands ~ they are worked with daily, as someone is always here with them. All of our dogs do well with other dogs and many do well with cats. Adoption donations range from $200 on up, depending on breed, age, and training of the dog (some pure bred and tiny dog fees are higher). This donation helps to cover all shots, de-wormings, spays and neuters, flea protection and heartworm/Lyme testing, treatment, and protection. Most all of our dogs are micro-chipped. (We also provide micro-chipping and boarding at affordable prices, along with a full line of natural supplements for your dogs health needs.) Dog's Best Friend dogs truly make wonderful family pets. Please email us for an application. (If you email us and do not hear back from us within 24 hours, please try again, as we most likely did not receive your email!) (Also note that many of our dogs are fostered just across the border into PA)



Phoebe is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
